It is important to get away sometimes. In early November, Hannes and I went on a roadtrip. I made him drive me to Nyköping, to see the castle, the river, the small picturesque buildings by the water.
I should do it more, visit places in Sweden. I’ve traveled the world, but my familiarity of Sweden is very limited. Growing up, we didn’t have a car, and it isn’t until recently that I have family anywhere else but in Stockholm.
Nyköping was quaint. And the winter-prepped fields on our way back to dad’s cottage beautiful in the setting sun.
We spent two days in Hundby, Hannes working on his thesis and me reading articles about water management in West Africa. But the sun was shining, and we had time to take short walks down to the lake and at night make dinner together.
A calm get-away. Getting out of the city is nice even off-season.
